I managed to build packages for this lightweight browser for Stretch-based MX 17, so a real Debian maintainer shouldn't have any problem getting it into upstream, and then it can eventually get into stretch-backports.
The new version uses libwebkit2gtk instead of the old libwebkit, and the new engine seems to be getting frequent updates in stretch-backports, so that addresses the issue with the older Midori using an browser backend that was full of security holes.
Edit: I did create a repo for it along with the latest webkit2 on the OBS for Stretch and some recent Ubuntus: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... rts/midori
All packages should be done pretty soon.
Update: one of the Ubuntu webkit2 builds ran out of RAM--apparently 12 GB was not enough with eight threads--so I requested 16 GB and started the builds again. Stretch did succeed, though.
Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230

So it's still pretty much alive I though it was dead.
Does this still belong to Xfce project?
https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/midori
https://wiki.xfce.org/midori/faq
or is it already become independent again?
or just been archive & forgotten like xfce4-icon-theme, xfce4-artworks source?

Basically, you install reportbug, then file a bug report saying that the 6.0 release is much improved and it needs updating in the repository.
It doesn't use any XFCE libraries; maybe they were associated because of similar philosophies: both are fast, lightweight, and based on GTK+. This new version switches to GTK+ 3, like it or not.
Speaking of rising from the grave, 6.0 was released on Halloween...(cue Thriller dance scene)
